Fresh plans to build 69 homes off Goggbridge Lane have been put forward by a housing developer just months after a previous scheme was thrown out by councillors.

In March Warwick District Council's (WDC) planning committee refused planning permission for the development, saying the occupiers would have to keep windows closed to shut out unacceptable levels of noise.

Planning officers had recommended Taylor Wimpey be given permission to build a mix of market and affordable homes on the small parcel of land between Goggbridge Lane and the A46.

But councillors were unanimous in rejecting the plans, listing concerns over noise, air pollution, a lack of open space, flood risk and insufficient justification for changing the use from employment land.

They also noted that the acoustic fence proposed to mitigate noise would not have been high enough.

Now Taylor Wimpey has submitted a fresh application for 69 homes on the land.

"A mix of terraced, semi-detached and detached dwellings are incorporated to create a varied street scene and care has been taken to avoid repetition to create a diverse development with a balanced social mix," the fresh application said. 

"The proposed layout offers a range of dwelling types and sizes with an appropriate provision of private amenity space, together with access and parking suited to the site and its surroundings."

New plans state the developer has taken on feedback from the planning committee and made changes to the application.

In particular the scheme includes a noise assessment and discussion of plans to mitigate noise on the site.

It added: "The installation of a green noise barrier is the best option for the site. 

"It does not negatively affect amenity space and use of the site and would ensure that the area of land, that has so far not had any takers from an employment view, can be used to create a sustainably located and well equipped residential development."
